Shadowline

SHADOWLINE: BOOK ONE

By Niles Smith

Description

New York City, 2003.
Engines roar beneath the bridges. Neon burns through the fog.
And two men on opposite sides of the law are about to collide.

Julian Ward lives under a stolen name - Danny Voss, the FBI's most deeply embedded driver inside a Eurasian crime syndicate flooding the streets with smuggled tech, weapons, and cars. He's been undercover so long he barely remembers the real him.

Cole Ward runs Eclipse, Brooklyn's hottest underground racing club - a kingpin built from grit, asphalt, and midnight battles. He rules the circuits with speed and loyalty, unaware that someone has marked him for elimination.

When their worlds crash together in a high-octane street ambush, they become instant rivals.

But the truth hits harder than any collision:

They are brothers - separated in childhood to escape the same syndicate now hunting them both.

As the city ignites with turf wars, smuggling operations, and back-alley betrayals, Julian uncovers a secret file - The Kovalenko Protocol - revealing why their family was destroyed.
Cole finds the missing pieces in his mother's hidden journals.

The truth lights a fuse neither man can control.

Now, with the Syndicate preparing a massive takeover of New York's racing rings, the brothers must decide:

Stay enemies.
Or tear the city open to save each other.

Fast cars.
Broken loyalties.
A bloodline built in fire.

SHADOWLINE is a gritty street-racing noir about family, betrayal, and the ghosts that chase us at 100 miles per hour.
